Dear Rita,
Speak to a CCDC at your local HPA unit. They may be able to advise/
support especially in persuading your Trust to allocate resources to
these infections. We have experienced a large drop in the number of
staff we have excluded from work due to contact with varicella since
introducing our immunisation programme and so there has probably been a
cost saving overall.
Best wishes

Hi,
I would like some advice from my OH colleagues, particularly those
working in an NHS environment. As a result of government targets my
Trust has appointed a dedicated team (one project manager and one
specialist practitioner) to support the Varicella/MMR project. As the
team is in its infancy, can anyone offer advice or suggestions on how
best to move forward with this project? I am a great believer in not
reinventing the wheel!
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Rita
